“With The Eldest Daughter Effect, the authors not only created a powerful sense of belonging for a significant group of women, but have also unleashed a sense of community that can self-reflect on its own capacities."

Tatiana Glad, co-founder of Waterlution

"I was amazed to find what a typical eldest daughter I am, and that so much of my attitudes and behaviour are coloured by this factor."

Lucy McCarraher, author of 10 books

“I absolutely fell in love with the book. It's like I was reading something written especially for me about my life!"

Holly Ruhl, editor at Mother.ly

“The Eldest Daughter Effect is a page turner. I couldn' t put it down and raced through it in one go!! Now I want to share the book with all my good friends - who of course are eldest daughters themselves - my walking buddy, my step daughter and many professional colleagues.”
